By Rajesh Kumar Behera

Hundreds of sea side  villagers of Rajnagar block in Kendrapara district sat on hunger strike in front of District collector’s office on Monday demanding before  the state government to initiate steps by signing MoU to build a port at Barunei river mouth.

Addressing the gathering Prafulla Kumar Das. the chairman of the Barunei Development Committee , stated  that several companies like  Arcelor Mittal , the largest steel maker of the world , and Adani group are interested to build a port in the district at Barunei .But it seems the state government is not taking any interest to sign MoU for constructing port at Barunei as  the state government is delaying  to sign MoU with a company  to set up a port at Barunei.

The agitators informed that more than ten thousand acres of government lands are laying unused near Barunei river mouth and the government is not going to face any resistance from the locals as major issue like  displacement is not going to be occur in the area  . Large numbers villagers are supporting the recent move of some of the companies to build a port at Barunei river mouth . The proposed port at Barunei will provide livelihoods to thousands of people and the state government should hand over lands to any company for the construction of the port as soon as possible..

Notably ,in the past , Baunei river mouth was a minor port and the sailors of Orissa used to sail other countries through the port. A delegation team of Barunei Development Committee six months back met the Chief Minister Naveen Patanaik and pressed their demands before the CM  to expedite the government machineries by signing an MoU with   any big company to set up a port at Barunei river mouth, said Bhabani Shankar Nayak the vice-president of Barunei Development Committee.

With the establishment of port ,large numbers of youths of the district would get employment and unemployment problems would be curtailed in some extent from the district if port would set up at Barunei .

Later , the agitators withdrew their hunger strike after the district administration informed the agitators to press their demands before the state government.

The entire oil, comprising Furance Oil, Diesel Oil and Lube Oil, has been pumped out from the sunken ship. Now there is no oil, whatsoever, left in the ship, added official sources.

Being  panicked about the oncoming possible disaster if the oil spillage occurred from the sunken ship Black Rose ,the fishery department as well as the environmentalists ,state pollution Board  sounded an alarm by urging  the port authority to pump out the 924 metric tonnes of furnace oil  which was stored in the  double bottom tank of the sunken ship in a war footing basis  to provide a congenial environment  for the  marine creatures  .

The oil retrieval work started lately as the port authority   waited for the arrival of the owner of the ship as  it was the duty of the owner of the ship to pump out the oil from the sunken ship.
